Pac-12 Conference Releases 2017 Football Schedule

SAN FRANCISCO – The Pac-12 Conference announced today its 2017 football schedule that pairs a competitive nine-game Conference schedule with a non-conference slate that includes 15 contests against teams that played in a bowl game this past season. In all, nearly a third of the Pac-12’s non-conference schedule pits the league against a Power 5 conference or major independent opponent, including three contests against the Big Ten Conference and two against both the Big 12 and Southeastern Conferences.

Every football game played at Pac-12 sites will be televised. A combination of the ESPN channels, ABC, FOX and FOX Sports 1 will broadcast 44 games nationally and Pac-12 Networks will offer 35 games to a national audience. Exact broadcast schedules will be determined at a later date.

The 2017 season is scheduled to get under way with nine home non-conference match ups in the opening week that include Southeastern Conference opponent Texas A&M at UCLA and Cotton Bowl participant Western Michigan at USC. The second week features the Pac-12 opener with STANFORD at USC on Saturday, September 9, along with seven non-conference clashes with teams that participated in bowl games following the 2016 season.

The 2017 Conference schedule features three games on two Thursday night dates that includes a key league matchup between STANFORD at OREGON STATE on Thursday, October 26. In addition, the schedule’s nine games on seven Friday dates feature COLORADO hosting Colorado State on Friday, September 1, WASHINGTON at STANFORD on Friday, November 10, and CALIFORNIA at UCLA and OREGON STATE at OREGON the day after Thanksgiving on Friday, November 24.

In addition, traditional rivalry games will be played over the last two weeks of the season, followed by the Pac-12 Football Championship Game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on either Friday, December 1 or Saturday, December 2.
